Work at home opportunities for the stay at home mom or military spouse are difficult to find to say the least. I probably don't have to warn you about the many many scams that are out there targeting work at home moms. However, if it sounds too good to be true... it is!!
There are a few income earning possibilities that I have come across in the past few years. Let me share them with you now : )
- First of all if you have a Masters degree and are taking time off from work to stay at home with the kids... an EXCELLENT opportunity for you is to teach an online class from a university. Many universities are getting involved with distance learning programs and they need teachers. YOU are the perfect candidate!
- If you have a bachelors degree in Math, Science, History, English or a related major and you have a love or at least like for teaching... online tutoring is ideal. I work for a company called tutor.com. It is online real-time homework help and you get paid hourly. There are other tutoring sites which offer similar opportunities. Tutorvista.com (masters degree required)
- Home-Based Customer Service Agent: In other words - Telecommuting
- Start up your own business! Do you have a business idea that you've always wanted to try? Go for it, now is the time! If you have a product that you would like to sell, hyenacart.com offers an inexpensive platform to sell your product. Hiring a web page designer can be expensive, but it may be worth while if you have a really great business idea. The sky is the limit.
- If you are a skilled writer, freelance writing and editing is a work at home possibility.
http://www.helium.com/ and http://www.suite101.com/ are sites where you can sign up and post a piece of work that you have written. Anybody can post to these sites, your article will get rated between other posts. You may get paid if your work is really good.
http://www.freelancepulse.com/ is a site that posts leads from craigslist that offer legitimate work at home opportunities.
Work at home opportunities are great for just about anyone, you don't have to be a work at home mom or military spouse. Generally if you are a skilled worker, working outside of the home is more profitable. When you have to pay for childcare costs for one or more young child, I have found work at home opportunities to actually be more profitable then outside of the home employment.
